6/19 Harsh Light on Two Men, but Glare Falls on Women

Only days after Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a French politician, was accused of sexually assaulting a maid at a New York hotel, Arnold Schwarzengger, the former governor of California, admitted that he had fathered a child with a household employee and hid a the child from his wife for 10 years. The question on many women's minds in recent weeks was the same cry of outrage that hangs over every male sex scandal:" How could he be such a pig?" So, are men just born this way? What are you gonna do with cheating?

Questions:

1. From Tiger Woods to Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and then Arnold Schwarzenegger, do you think men are more likely to have an affair when they are getting more power? Does power really turn regular guys into sexual predators?

2. Will you lose the faith on those celebrities having several affairs or accused of sexual harassment? Or do you think their profession has nothing to do with their private life? (e.g. You are a big fan of Tiger Woods, but you still love him after he said he has sex addiction. Because you think you just like to watch him play golf. It doesn’t matter how his behavior is like. )

3. When having an affair, women are accused of infidelity and disloyalty, but men are just being called “playboys” or “predators”. (It’s not necessarily so, but under most circumstances, especially in Chinese society.) Why’s that different treatment on different genders?

4. It seems like marriage doesn’t guarantee you a better relationship, and there are numerous cases describing the unhappy marriage. Do you still have faith on marriage? What does it mean for you to get married?

5. If your better half cheat on you and have an affair with the third person, how are you gonna do with this, and what about the children? Will you tell them the truth?
